Story behind the song

Lifes wrong turns lead us all nowhere

Lyrics

From the roman camp at Braco
We caught the last bus to Dunkeld
it left us stranded at Dunnotter
We dropped our tickets in the water

No-one seeing no-one knowing
A running joke that keeps on going
A river flows and it keeps on flowing
We took a wrong turn and we just kept going 

Had enough of paying taxes
Getting tired of sponsored walks
I dont take part in lifelong learning
Cant be arsed with Kirriemuir

A lonely road not far from Forfar
Where East Fife meets the Scottish Border
Was just as empty as we left it
The bloody map just lead us nowhere

The wind's forever at our backs
But the rain is always in our face
Lifes winding road will keep on winding 
And try to put us in our place
